JAMES WV. TYLER, OF CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY.

GARMENT-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 644,037, dated February 20, 1900. Application filed December 10, 1898. Serial No. 698,875. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES W. TYLER, a citiing one end bent into a knob or catch and the opposite end screw-cut,.over which Works a thumb or other tightening nut. Guide-staples hold said bolt against its respective pressure strip or board. A wire is hooked or looped at its middle and its ends passed along the outside of the rear board, extending both ways and looped, both ends being inwardly and centrally extended and bent over and fixed near the loops.

On reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings, making part of this specification, Figure l is a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a top or plan View; and Fig. 3 is a vertical and transverse section through the dotted line 1 2, Fig. 1.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views.

A A are vertical and parallel pressure strips or boards.

B are end guides which are fastened to and projected from the rear board A. In the slots at the bent end or knob b of a binding-rod O and the screw end a are received, staples at keeping said rod 0 in place against the front board A.

D is a wire which is centrally bent into a hanging device, hook, or loop E and afterward extended both ways along the back side of the rear board A, and when at a suitable distance from the ends of said boards A A the ends so extended are looped at F and return-bent at e, cross-bent at f, and looped onto that portion of the wire which bears against and is stapled at g to the rear of said board A.

As shown at Fig. 3, the cut-off legs G of a pair of pantaloons are pressed between the boards A A, while as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 a Vest or coat can be suspended over the loops F against the rear board A.

The operation is as follows: The nut H on being retreated or unscrewed permits the board A to be moved from the board A, leaving a space sufficient for the admission of the pantaloon-legs G, after which said board A is pressed on said pants G and the nut H screwed upon the rod 0, thus producinga binding between the guides B and the ends of the rods 0, which retains the distance between the boards A A and confines and suspends the pantaloons.

I claim.

In a garment-hanger, the combination of a rear board, an adjustable presser-board, slotted end guides on the ends of the rear board, a binding-rod passed through said slots, a binding-screw on said rod, centrally-bent and looped wire, and means for securing said centrally-bentwire to said rear board.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES W. TYLER. Witnesses:

FRANCIS D. PASTORIUS, B. D. ARCHER.
